Act of Kindness #44: Hosting at the Easter Seals Skate

By Monika Platek

I spent 6 season working on the microphone for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the organization still holds a big place in my heart! One of the best events is the Skate for Easter Seals Kids that involves current and former Maple Leafs players and raising money for kids with physical disabilities. When they asked me to host I eagerly said ‘YES!’ It’s so inspiring to see the joy on their faces – hockey fans young and old – and especially Casey McKay – the wonderful Maple Leafs fan in this photo who leads in fundraising! Guess how much he got up to this year? $11,000!
